test12: eth0 trasmit timed out after one hour uptime

[Joseph Cheek]

hi all,

after about an hour of uptime [and heavy HD usage] my ethernet just
died.  couldn't ping a thing.  syslog showed:

i've been doing a ton of compiling which has thrashed the [IDE] HD,
perhaps it is related.  other than that, just normal web surfing...

At first I thought my lockups were HD i/o related also but then the last
lockup I had happened a while after I trashed my disk but while grabbing
email (ppp link).

Hi

i may have also had some problems with this
when i was connected to the net though ppp (most of the night)
so far in about 6 hours it has stoped transmitting 2 times but still
recives it is fine after i disconnect and reconnect i will try and get it
to stop working with heavry disk io
BTW this is all under 2.2.18 and never had any problem with the isp
over the past month or so.

I wasted time trying to track something similar down, replaced the card 
instead :> My first clue was when smacking the box, it started working 
again... (j/k)

You didna' mention the card type ...

I have this too since testX-Kernels are released.

I use a "3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24)"
(actually two of them ;-)).

This seems to be code to debug these timeouts.

It didn't cause any harm AFICS, but I CC'ed the Author of this
code anyway.

Ingo,

Donald wrote just about all the Linux netdrivers, but he
now concentrates upon the drivers which he maintains at
http://www.scyld.com.  Other people try to help out with the
drivers which come from kernel.org.

This particular problem does still occur occasionally.

It's way too infrequent to pin down.  It can certainly
be caused by a very high collision rate on a hubbed LAN.
If that were the only cause I would take all the diagnostics
out, because that's simply ethernet.

Other possible causes are lost interrupts in the kernel
or hardware, cabling problems, power supply problems or,
indeed, a driver bug.

If you are able to reproduce this then I'd be very interested
in working with you on it.  First step is to read the final
section of Documentation/networking/vortex.txt, then send
me a long email.

Thanks.
